PAYMENT
Some of our products are high-quality reproductions and are not originals. Our items are quality replicas inspired by the style but a not exact replica of the original design. The actual designer does not produce our products, nor is Nue Modern affiliated with the official manufacturers. Any mention of the designer or original product name is only for descriptive purposes.
Every effort is made to ensure the integrity of colour in our images. However, we cannot guarantee an exact colour match due to the inherent digital colour representation variation. For this reason, colours are to only be considered an approximation, and that actual physical colour may differ from the one displayed on the screen. Every care is taken to ensure descriptions and measurements are accurate. However, variations may occur and measurements are taken manually and are approximate. Measurements are based on information supplied to us by the manufacturers, and the method of recording size and form can be interpretative and vary slightly in production. Therefore images of the items shown on the website are offered as a guide only and may differ from the actual physical item due to the upholstery, finish, size selected and manufacturing processes.
It is impossible to guarantee uniformity of colour, grain or texture of products made from natural materials such as leather, marble, wood or stone. All-natural products are subject to the whim of nature, and their uniqueness should be considered a vital part of their allure. For this reason, similar products with natural finishes bought at different times will not necessarily be a perfect match.
The majority of our products are fully assembled, but certain products will require some assembly.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Standard and in-stock items advertise a lead time of 6 - 8 weeks. This does not include the processing period or the customs clearance time as this will vary depending on the county and location of the delivery.
Made-to-Order items have an estimated lead time between 14 to 18 weeks. It is essential to understand the processes involved with these orders. The lead time is based on the average time it takes for the item to arrive at our warehouse in the UK and some factors can slow this down, including the following:
Shipping – The shipping from our factory can be affected by loading delays, weather conditions, port congestion, customs, etc., which are directly out of our control.
Production – Sometimes, production can be slower than expected because of the availability of raw materials, public holidays etc.
Date of Order – We import once every month or so from our suppliers; if your order can be ready on time for the upcoming shipment, it will be added to the next available shipment, therefore, resulting in a longer lead time.
We try our best to keep customers informed of the progress, but this isn’t always possible. As part of the terms on Made-to-Order, you must allow 18 weeks for arrival and should it be delayed any further, we will contact you informing you of any further delays. We are unable to provide a lead time for Custom Made items as this depends on the complexity of the project.
Please note that our Chinese suppliers close entirely for all of August and over Christmas and all of February for the Chinese New Year, which will add extra weeks to the estimated lead times given on the product page.
LEAD TIMES
We will deliver your order to the delivery address given at the time you place your order. All shipping fees will be calculated at the checkout and based on size, weight and destination. We aim to keep our delivery charges as competitive as possible. Delivery will be made as soon as possible after your order is accepted, depending on the product's lead time. Please note that delivery times are only estimates and longer delays may occur. You will receive tracking information (where possible) by email once your goods have been dispatched. You will become the owner of the goods you have ordered when they have been delivered to you.
The goods are adequately packed for travel, and they are at the customer's risk from the time of delivery to the carrier. Therefore, Nue Modern recommends that the customer verifies the condition of packages immediately upon delivery.
If the customer is unable to take delivery for some reason, they can arrange a second attempt or collect the goods from a designated address or courier depot. However, if the customer fails to cooperate with the agreed delivery attempts or an order is undelivered, incorrect details have been provided. Therefore, the goods are returned to us; we may, at our discretion, cancel the order and deduct 20% of the total value of the order from the refund to cover return, storage and insurance.
In case of delays, accidents, total or partial loss or other problems, it is up to the customer to have recourse to the carrier, without it being the responsibility of Nue Modern.
Therefore, at the point of delivery, Nue Modern recommends that the customer checks on the delivered goods' condition before signing the acknowledgement of receipt for the package. Once you sign, it's no longer possible to open a claim for any damaged products. It's in your right to open and check any products if the packaging has any sign of damage.
If the customer notes any damage, they shall reject the Products or issue handwritten, precise and dated reservations. These reservations must be confirmed by registered letter with a recorded receipt sent to the carrier within three (3) working days following the delivery date of the products. A copy shall be forwarded to Nue Modern Design Ltd. 1a Bethwin Road, Flat 6 - SE5 0SJ London, UK. Failure to do so will be taken as acceptance by you that all goods were received in perfect condition, and no claim can be made for a repair or replacement.
DELIVERY
(This applies only for orders outside the UK) Goods ordered from our site may be subject to customs and clearance fees, duties, and taxes, which the customer must pay before delivery. All cross-border duties and taxes are the responsibility of the customer. You will be responsible for the payment of any such import duties and taxes. Failure to make payment will result in delays and potential storage fees of which Nue Modern cannot be held responsible and ultimately the return of the Goods and further costs accrued. The customer is fully responsible for checking their country's unique policies and rulings with regards to import. Nue Modern cannot be held responsible for any costs incurred from the release of goods from any customs office. Please be advised that we reserve the right to deduct 20% of the total value of the order from any refund to cover return, storage and insurance, for shipment of Goods refused by the customer at Customs in the destination country.
IMPORT DUTY
In circumstances beyond our control Nue Modern reserves, the right to cancel, change or suspend the operation of this website until an order or normal operations are restored. Nue Modern will not be held liable for any contract failure resulting from such an exceptional event. Additionally, we are not responsible for delays outside our control. As we do not manufacture the products we supply, if an event outside our control delays our supply, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay, at our discretion, it will be dealt with through financial reimbursement.
CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL
Consumers have the right to return the order within 14 days of receiving the order. The right applies only in the case that the product and its original packaging can be returned in the same condition as when received.
Any courier damages or incorrect deliveries should be advised by email, together with a clear digital image of the problem, within three days of receiving the goods.
Return costs must be charged to the customer. After the receipt, Nue Modern will examine the goods to verify any damages (substantial integrity is an essential condition for the exercise of the right of withdrawal). For example, suppose the goods have been damaged during transport. In that case, Nue Modern will inform the customer (within five working days from the receipt of goods) to enable him to make a timely complaint against the carrier of choice and get a refund of the value of the property (if insured). In this case, the product will be made available to the customer for return, simultaneously cancelling the withdrawal request.
Nue Modern is not responsible in any way for damage or theft/loss of goods returned by uninsured shipments.
The consumer can not exercise the right of withdrawal for the supply of goods made-to-order, custom-made or in COM, "Based on a personal choice or personalised" (art. 55 Legislative Decree 09/06/2005 n. 206), for more information contact our customer service.
RIGHT TO WITHDRAWAL
Made-to-Order and custom-made items can only be cancelled or modified within seven days of placing the order; after that time, it must be presumed that production has commenced and any cancellation or modification is no longer possible. When ordering a Made-to-Order or custom-made piece of furniture, you must be certain that the specification you order exactly meets your requirements. Once manufacture has commenced, it will not be possible to change it. The Made-to-Order or custom-made items cannot be cancelled, even if the order is subject to an unforeseen delay.
Cancellation and refund of made-to-order and custom-made items is only possible if your order is not delivered before 30th calendar week. Items made in customer's own material (COM) are final, and no cancellation, exchange, or refund is possible.
CANCELLATION
Should a Made-to-Order or custom-made item be received damaged or defective, after inspection, the item will be repaired, or a replacement will be arranged at no cost to the client. However, this is dependent on the client taking the following action:

Any claim regarding a damaged or defective item must be made at once by email with photographic evidence.
Whenever a client returns a Made-to-Order product, it must be adequately packed in the original packaging to prevent further damage.
REPLACEMENT
In the event of a standard item delivered damaged or defective, after inspection, the item can be repaired, or a replacement will be arranged at no cost to the client, or the item should be returned to Nue Modern within seven days of receiving the item. However, this is dependent on the client taking the following action:

The goods are to be returned in their original packaging in a perfect non-used condition within 14 days of receipt, along with your order reference number.
Where item(s) to be returned are large or require special handling (as determined by Nue Modern), we reserve the right to nominate a specialist delivery company and pass the transport cost onto the client.

The cost of returning the item(s) will be the client's responsibility, who must ensure the transit of the goods.

We will process the credit note within ten working days of the return of the item.
RETURNING FAULTY OR DAMAGED GOODS
The manufacturer's warranty covers all our products for 12 months. Only manufacturing defects are warranted. We do not cover any damages, chips, tears, marks etc., caused by the customer either through the use or installation of the product. We are obliged to offer a replacement or repair on warranted items. Due to distance selling, we always request digital images to process and assess any resulting warranty issue.
In the event of a problem, we have obliged the opportunity to correct it. We do not charge shipping or delivery costs for replacements or repairs (within 14 days) unless a) the customer is using the 14-day e-commerce ruling and returning unwanted items, b) returning items without giving the opportunity of correcting reported problems or c) the customer is reporting a fault on delivery but has signed as perfect with the courier. Outside of 14 days, the items are on a return to base warranty to be repaired or replaced.
Please note that in manufacturing acrylic and fibreglass products, it is not unusual for there to be minor blemishes. However, this is not constituted as damage due to the nature of the material as long as they do not represent a significant size by which will then deem the item as faulty.
Always check that the dimensions of hallways and doorways can fit the products ordered. If you miscalculate this, then we are not responsible, and the goods must be returned under the 14-day ruling, therefore, costing the customer shipping charges both ways.
We do not take responsibility for damage caused by the customer. Marks, scratches and chips that are not on the product when it arrives are the customer's responsibility. Likewise, Damage that was not present when boxed at the warehouse and the product signed for on delivery is the customer's responsibility.
Made-to-Order items are covered with the same 12-month warranty; however, they are not covered by the 14 day ruling of return as they have been made specially. It is a customer's responsibility, therefore, to order samples in advance to ensure suitability.
Due to the logistics involved, reported problems from EU countries would be dealt with financial reimbursement. We do not collect any return items. We either a) send replacement parts or b) pay compensation/refund amount for items damaged or missing. Warranty is void in all cases whereby any item has been modified from its original condition.
